This paper goes into every one of the
twenty-eight States of Mexico. 1t is re-
ceived by President Diaz and each member
of his Cabinet, by every Governor in the
Republic, by all the public libraries and
reading-rooms and by many army officers,
besides its general circulation. The title OF
the paper is EL .AbOgadO Cristidno HuS-
tTGdo. Besides the paper, the printing of
flee turns out the textbooks used in the
Methodist schools, the native ministry tracts
by the thousands, and a Sunday school
paper. In 1886 there were published 1885,
20 pages of religious literature. Mexicans
even of the common classes, do much more
reading than is generally supposed. They
are not patrons of newspapers, but the pub

THE FIELD DIVIDED.

The two American boards which have un.
dertallen the work of establishing Protest
antism in Mexico have gone at it in a fairer
spirit toward each other than Is sometimes
manifested in the States. While the Method.
lists have founded missions in the cities men
toned, the Presbyterians have chosen other
places among them Xacntecas, Saltillo, San
LUIS Potosi, Jerez and Lerdo.
Each Of the eight cities in which the
Methodists have been working have branch
missions in outlying towns, so that alto
gether there are forty-lvc organized Meth
Odist congregations and twenty other towns
IN which there is occasional preaching.
The records give 1900 communicates, but
it is explained that the policy of being ex-
ccSSiyely strict IN the reception of members
has been adopted, because of the low con
dition of morals prevailing here The
number OF "adherentSn is much larger
reaching 5000 This includes the children
There are twenty-nine Sabbath schools with
l,265 scholars and twenty weight day schools
with l,204 attendants. One of the most i'm

Mexico is the Theological School at Puebla,

are being educated for teachers and preach

onal centres have their philosophical socle-

that they fear this skepticism much

SECRET PERSECUTION.
Speaking of the treatment received by
| the missionaries, Mr.. Butler says:
I'm the early days a great deal OF perse-
cution was endured, but that spirit seems TO
have been mitigated. at least i'll the import
| ant centres. While it is true that in some
OF the outlying stations an occasional MOB
is heard of, the missionaries do not nave 10
endure that continuous and violent opposi-
ton that characterized the first few years
and which caused the opening of several
martyrs graves. We have been fortunate
in not losing any of the foreign missionaries
from violence, the victims having been ma
| tive helpers. There is no doubt, however,
that there is great deal of secret and under
handed opposition in the cities as we'll as in
the outlying towns. Native members have
lost their employment, their friends, their
standing in society, because they have been
seen going into Protestant Churches. But
after all, the majority of them have remain
ed firm, and we know of every few cases of
persons going back to Romanism after once
embracing our faith"
PRESS AND PULPIT.
A feature which has proven one of the
most important aids to the mission work is
the publishing house which the Methodists
conduct. AS people go into the church they
pass between the editors room on one side
and the book-room on the other. Upstairs
is the composition room, and just behind
the pulpit are the presses. The Rev Mr..
Butler and his associates find that they can
reach the eyes of the Mexicans when they
can not the ears, and it is not certain that
the pulpit would not have to go before the
press did.
On visit to the United States in 1876,
DR.. Butler received from friends the sum of
$4,000, which he expended in a complete
outfit for small printing office. His pur-
chase included a cylinder press, a steam en-
CINE, stereotyping machinery and material.
1t will interest MethodistS generally to learn
that from this printing office is now issued
publication which has the largest circulation
of any illustrated paper in Mexico, and is

liberal IDEAS, and a perfect knowledge
of the necessities OK his country.
On account Of the breaking ont OF
the war between Chile and Bolivia and
Peru, in 1879, Balmaseda was sent rs
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Argen-
tine Republic, the non-intervention OF
which was sought in the contest, Chile
wishing to be assured of the perfect
neutrality Of Buenos Ayres while the
gor lasted. His mission was success
full, and after the lapse of some
few months he was called TO the
head Of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, during the term of Presi-
dent Santo Mario, which began in Sep
TENDER, 1881. The strength. energy
prudence, and ability with which he
maintained the rights of Chile, was
manifested in q patriotic and lofty
spirit, particularly so in his contest
with Mr.. Blaine, then Secretary OF
State at Washington. With the Access
sion of Mr.. FreliDghuysen to the State
Department friction between Chile and
the United States came to an end.
In 1882 Mr.. Balmaseda was trans
ferred from the head Of Foreign Affairs
to that of Minister of the Interior,
which position he filed until 1885.
During his incumbency of that import
ant office he greatly promoted the ma
terial prosperity of Chile, such as in
the construction OF railroads, telegraph
lines, etc. To his initiative and constant
action before Congress is due also in
great measure the triumphal accom-
plishment of the political, the So
cial, and religious reforms which
the Liberal party has brought
about in that republic. In 1885 he re-
signed the Ministry OF the Interior,
whereupon he was selected as adviser
to the Government in the capacity OF
one of the five Counsellors OF State, an

APROsPEROUs REPUBLIC.
Jose Manuel BaImaseda, President
OF Chile.

The most prosperous republic in
this hemisphere, the United States ex-
cepted, is Chile, which enjoys the
blessing of freedom in religious mat
tiers, and where a good gra.uitous edu-
cation is provided for the people. Com
merce is thriving, and the war with
Peru and Bolivia, which was ter
minated nearly four years ago, left
Chile considerably richer in territory
and resources. The people are more
progressive than their neighbors.
Chile is. in short, the leader among the
republics Of South America.

Talmaseda was born in the.city OF
Santiago in 1910. He is the youngest
mCmlcr OF a family Of ten sous. HIS

obtained mt the seminary and university
Of that city. In 1864 he accompanied,
in the capacity Of private secretary
SenCr Monet, ex-Presideut Of Chile,
who was appointed Envoy and Minister
PlenipotcntiaTy TO the American Con

Chile Mr.. Balnaseda was elected a

years successfully, until he vas elected

WHAT CAME OF TEE HAsrY BURIAL
OF AN ITALIAN.
After Havirg Been Prepared for the Grave
Francesca cspessa sits Up and
Kisses Her Child.
fChicsgo News.l


Intense excitement has been caused
in the Clark-street Italian quarter over
the mysterious burial of Francesca
Cenessa, an Italian woman living at o.
Polk street, q few doors from Clark;
Six hours after it was supposed she had
died she turned over in her coffin, ac-
cordipg to her neighbors, and then sat
up after an effort. She looked around,
apparently but half conscious, reached
ont TO embrace her child, and then fell
back in her coffin and lay. unconscious,
seemingly dead. However. no effort
was made to restore her to life, and not
long afterward the undertaken came. in,
nailed up the coffin, and the body was
taken away for burial.
The woman's house is in one OF the
most squalid and wretched quarters in
the city. al of its people are pauper
foreigners, large proportion of them
being "dago" Italians. They are
ignorant and superstitious, and stand
in great fear of the authorities.
whoa you?" was asked by tall,
sunburnod italian of Daily News
reporter when he stepped into 60
Polk street yesterday morning to
investigate Mrs. Cenessa's death.
"You-a doctore ?"
"Yes, l am a doctor. l want to
learn something about the woman who
died haae some time ago" the reporter
repliedT =.
"No-a use now woman no more.
and pointing to the ground, the Italian
indicated that she was buried long
since.
"What was her name ?" the report
er inquired.
"Not understand me talk-a English
bad. That man, his wife-a dead"
A man Of small build, with spark
ling, treacherous eyes, nodded as If
SAYING "Yes, / am her husband.
THREE FAMILIES IN ONE HOUSE.
A woman with a greasy red face sat
in corner nursing child. -Four chill
dren sat at her feet on the ground. An
old man was lying on bed behind q
partition, and an old woman sat by him
absorbed in sewing some old rags.
Through various manipulations and
eesticulations the tall Italian explained
that he was the boss in the house, and
that the others rented their sleeping
places from him. The house was occu.
pied by three families, and among them
were the father, mother, and husband
Of the dead woman.
His own name, the italian said, was
Lagorio Domenigo, but the name OF
the dead woman or of her relatives he
refused to diyulge, as they did not wish
to be named. He and his tenant, the
husband of the woman, he claimed, had
been in Wisconsin working on rail
road at the time Of her death, and thai
all be knows about the matter was What
he was told by his wife on his return t
Chicago.
